Rohan Muthamala – Tas
Learning Ambassadors
| Rohan, 55 years of age, arrived in Australia with his wife and daughter in 2023. Growing up in Sri Lanka during a time of civil unrest, Rohan faced many challenges. Despite this, he completed a Diploma of Sports and Exercise Sciences through the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Peradeniya.
Rohan was fortunate to train under a Chinese Tai Chi and Martial Arts master who had moved to Sri Lanka. To communicate with him, Rohan learned Chinese and went on to master Tai Chi, Qigong, Karate and Kung Fu. He embraced his master’s philosophy of sharing knowledge, starting with teaching Tai Chi to his own parents to support their health and wellbeing. He went on to teach people from all walks of life and became President of the Sri Lanka Tai Chi Association and Master Trainer at the Tai Chi Institute. Since arriving in Tasmania, Rohan has been active in the community through the Welcome Cultural Services (Migrant Resource Centre) English Conversation Group at the Devonport Library, and the International Café. He now runs “Ro’s Tai Chi for Health and Wellbeing” and facilitates regular sessions in Wynyard, Port Sorell and Devonport. He has recently taken up the Intro to Computing course at TasTAFE and is looking forward to learning more about the digital world. |
